Abstract

Hello all,

I want to simulate Rolling Contact Fatigue in Ansys Multiphysics. I am
not sure whether we can perform this task in Ansys Multiphysics. Can
anybody help me regarding this? Is that possible to get S-N Curve as
result? Please help me..

Dear Colleagues,

a new 30 min IOSO video tutorial is available for you on-line: http://vimeo.com/13029874 Step by step Optimization task solution with the aides of DS SolidWorks (parametrizator), ANSYS Icem CFD (mesh processor), ANSYS CFX (CFD software) coupled with IOSO 

Dear members,

I am a newbie in FEAP and I would like to perform transient heat transfer analysis followed by a series of static analysis using FEAP.  Where does FEAP save the temperature history from the transient analysis and how to use this as input for the static analysis? I am using user constitutive model and most of the material parameters are temperature dependent. Which file do I need to include?

Best regads,

Vivian Tini

Following our recent article on this new method, we are making our Matlab routines available. The package contains standard DIC, SSDIC, plus a few extras. More info here

“Subset Splitting Digital Image Correlation” (SSDIC) is based on DIC, but in addition SSDIC can capture displacement discontinuities near shear bands or cracks, where standard DIC fails.
